About

I'm a Software Engineer with 3.5+ years of experience at Cadence, where I architect and optimize high-performance simulation infrastructure in C++. My work has driven 18–19% simulation throughput improvements, contributed to multi-million dollar wins (e.g., Samsung, Google), and led to widespread adoption of diagnostic tooling across teams. I specialize in low-level systems programming, performance profiling, and compile-time RTL transformations, with a track record of delivering impact at scale. Outside of work, I’m deeply passionate about competitive programming and consistently rank among the top across platforms: 🏆 CodeChef 6★ (Div 1, Rating 2353) 👨🏻‍💻 Codeforces Master (Rating 2264) 🤺LeetCode Knight (Rating 2124, Top 1%) ⭐ HackerRank 6★ Advanced C++ | System Design Experience | Full Stack Dev Exposure | Project Work in AI/ML & Android I've also led engineering teams in open-source fellowships and startups, mentored 100+ students, and built scalable products in simulation, posture detection (ML), decentralized gaming, and CI/CD pipelines. Now actively exploring SDE-2 / SDE-3 opportunities where I can apply my strengths in runtime performance engineering, scalable system design, and modern C++ development.
